What's Up Wednesday?
Good Morning OFF Family,
I am up late for a lot of reasons, the main one being I can't go potty and despertely need to. I have been constipated for two days. Plus, I have had a low grade fever since suppertime. I get it every evening.
Wednesday has me resting the leg, and going to an appointment in the afternoon. Nothing exciting.
Still struggling with my depression. Tried to get some stuff done Tuesday. I did not overdo it either.
Hopw everyone has a great day, full of blessings.
Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
Sorry you are depressed still ... I know it can be hard at times when you can't do what you want to do. And when the Phillies don't do what you want to do (my White Sox are the original under-achievers).
Not a whole lot going on here ... I'm watching the Jackie Kennedy special that was on ABC last night, although I'm getting tired and might go to bed soon.
Work last night was fairly easy ... had most everything done and was just waiting on my three front page stories to finish up. So I was a little bored. Tomorrow (or in this case, actually tonight) will be more hectic. So I guess I need to rest up.
Have a good day. Take it easy, Trish.

Good mornin' ya'll.
Trish, I hope your depression eases soon. My Sissy is bi-polar and when her meds aren't tweeked just right she has some major issues with her depressive state.
Eileen, being bored at work makes the time go soooo slow. But being too busy is so exhausting. Some jobs it's hard to get a happy medium.
Have you guys seen the ads for the new 'air delights', candy? Some companies slyly reduce the size of packaging and charge the same or more ie: a quart of ice cream or a pound of coffee. Now they are replacing the product with AIR and we are paying for it. I imagine the calories are less so consumers would feel they are doing something healthier. I don't eat chocolate candy, so it doesn't really impact me, but I wonder what is next? I'm sure every company is out there trying to figure out what else they can add air to.
Ok, my rant, pet peeve, gripe for the day is done!
I will be busy on my Halloween costumes all day again. Halloween is quickly approaching. I will be gone all next week getting my band fixed or getting a revision. I'm leaning towards the revision.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!!

Morning all, sober 318 days and so proud of me.
Getting ready to leave for 2 VA appointments at Bay Pines, dentist and ortho. Not OCDing too much and that pleases me.
My body is sore,PT does wonders but getting there is a rough journey. Got 5 lb ankel weights for my new leg exercises.
Hoping you all have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs Monica and the Traveling Bra.

Good Morning Trish, Eileen, Grammylew, Monica and those to come,
Hey Trish, I have had constipation issues on and off recently, someone suggested eating 4 to 6 prunes daily and guess what, it works, if you don't like prunes, just think of them as plums, which is what they are and I think they are sooooooo yummy, natures candy. . . just a thought and hope it can help you. Depression stinks, I've had bouts of it myself and more recently when I found it licking at my heels, I just kept in motion, but in your current cir****tances that is hard to do, but you are trying so give yourself credit for what you're doing and tell that damn committee that is dragging at you, that they are fired. . . hugs to you, feel better soon.
Eileen hope you had a restful night.
Grammylew your rant made me laugh and yeah, I love how everyone is charging more and giving less, not that it's new, they did that years ago with candy bars and cupcakes, but then went back to bigger and so we got fatter (lol). . .anyway, I got a chuckle out of your rant.
Monica congrats on stringing together so many sober days, you're coming up to a year soon and sounds like you're getting better and better with dealing with things.
It is a reasonably nice day outside, got up made it to the gym and I am sitting here at my desk, tonight I have plans to meet up with my DIL and the kids after their swim lessons for a bite to eat, that should be nice, otherwise, lunch will find me at an AA meeting and that's it from me.
Wishing you all the very best of days and the hope that you find peace and strength to deal with the more challenging aspects of living.
Hugs, Laureen

Good morning Trish and my OFF sistas!
I'm up and feeling happy today. Benny is finally coming to see his ol' Mimi! I think I'm about over my cold. This morning I will clean and wipe every surface down with Clorox wipes. Oh, but I'm so ready to see my little fella!
Yesterday I finished painting the new playroom and got the new curtains hung. I posted pics on FB, which so many of you have already seen. Thanks for the sweet comments! I'm excited now for the toys and furnishings to start to arrive. I've ordered a climb 'n slide play station, a plush little overstuffed Winnie the Pooh chair, a toddler sized bookcase, some new books and a few toys. Next month, when my DH gets home, we're going to bring an old sleeper sofa from the other lakehouse down here and it will also go in the playroom, so it can double as a guest room. I need to find a pretty slipcover for it.
I also posted some pics of the deer on FB for all you nature lovers.
I'll have to decide if I have the time and energy to start the painting on the master bedroom. I already have new paint, curtains, blinds ready to go for that room. But first I have to strip the wallpaper off of one wall in there. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle that just yet. But maybe next week I will try it.
Hope you all are doing well today. Trish, keep your chin up!
Love you all!

Wow Vicki, I looked at all your pictures on fb. You have done an amazing amount of work!!! Looks great.
The deer are so cute. We used to get as maqny as 20 at a time here in the yard. Then there was a ban on feeding them. We still get a few. Last year my DH got one on our property. We have 20 acres here & my daughter has 20 on the Manistee river a few miles from here. He has gotten a few there too.
I hope Benny realizes someday how lucky he is to have you & his Grandpa!!

Good morning Trish and everyone......
Trish sorry you are still having depression....me too....no energy or desire to do anything. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other!
My cold seemed to be somewhat better yesterday. I ran out of Nite Quil and forgot to get some when I went to WalMart. I had a long miserable night. I coughed so hard I had stomach spasms. I will be dragging today.
I took Grace to preschool so I have a few minutes now. I meet with my new Therapist today. I sure hope I like her. The new Psychiatrist was very nice.
Wishing you all a nice day. It sure is cold here this morning. Monday I was in a tank top and shorts, today in a jogging outfit and socks!!
Prayers for so many in need....special ones for some.
Love and hugs to all.....connie d
